"Who owns this?" tanong ko habang hinahangin ang aking buhok.
This yacht is beautiful at nakalibre pa ako. I really was planning to buy yacht but I still did not find the good one, I don't need the perfect I just need the right one.
"Mine..." he answered which made me shock.
What the? Sa kaniya 'to? But! Bakit isa lang ito dito?
I glance at him while we're leaning on the railings admiring the moon. "But...why this is the only one here?" lumingon-lingon ako para makumpirma ko kung totoo nga ba ako and it turns out that I'm right.
"My friend, the owner of this resort owned this..." he lick his lips.
He seems lying but I don't bother anymore, well I don't care.
I gaze at him with my suspecting face, "Hindi mo naman siguro ninakaw ang yacht na 'to diba?."
"What if did?" lumapit siya sa akin tinaas ang kilay at ngumisi, ngisi na nakakatindig balahibo.
I raise my brows "Then I'm here to arrest you," mabilis akong pumunta sa likuran niya at hinablot ang kamay niya galing sa harapan, inipit ko ito sa likod niya gaya na lamang ng basic self defense na natutunan ko, I'm a black belter though.
Taliwas sa inaasahan ko ang naging ekspresyon niya, inaasahan kong dumaing siya ng sakit at magmakaawang pakawalan ko siya ngunit humalagakhak ito na para bang wala sa kaniya ang ginawa ko.
"Too aggressive" he chuckled making me pissed off!
Do I look like a clown para tawanan niya ng ganoon?
"I hate you!," I exclaimed getting my hands off him.
Tumawa ito "Hate me but be careful you might fall in love with me." he held my chin slowly leaning towards me.
What's the temperature? I think I'm in the melting point of an ice!
I smile sarcastically "I don't even know my name," I held his hand and put it into his chest.
I switch my body back and lean on the the railings again not bothering to look at this guy's glance.
"Aiden Duke Sandoval, it's nice to meet you..." he introduced his self to me smiling.
I was staring at him for the long time falling in love with his name, but not with him. I was a hard time to decide if I will also introduce myself though he didn't ask.
"It's nice to meet you" I said back, iniwas na ang aking tingin.
Nanaig lamang ang ingay ng hangin at hampas ng alon sa katahimikan sa aming dalawa. I almost wanted to jump on the sea when my stomach suddenly growl which means that I am hungry, I really do!
Kanina pa na gusto kong tanungin kung may makakain siya pero parang wala, alak lang siguro ang meron dito. Unti-unti akong lumingon sa kaniya na nakahalumbaba lang pala habang nakatingin sa akin.
"Let's eat...." anyaya niya sa akin.
Tinitigan ko siya at tango na lamang ang sagot ko.
He went downstair, baka nandoon ang mini kitchen pero ito magluluto? Parang mahirap paniwalaan.
Umupo nalang muna ako sa couch hinahayaang hanginin ang buhok ko. Ang refreshing nga sa pakiramdam na hinahangin ang buhok mo. I was bored kaya binuksan ko ang aking phone and as expected it has lot of missed call and text messages, in-off ko kasi para hindi ako ma-abala o ma konsensya na hindi ako nagpaalam kay Harley. Though I think I'm in the right hands for the meantime... I hope so.
I took a photo of the moon and send it to Harley para naman ma-inform ko man lang siya na hindi ako na kidnapp ng sindikato.
"Eat well, I cooked that for you but I'm warning you that I don't have such cooking skills so I'm sorry in advance." he place a plate of menudo on the table.
There's a mini side table beside the jacuzzi I was amazed about it.
Sinenyasan niya akong lumapit kaya ganoon ang ginawa ko naglakad ako papunta sa table. I sat down the floor because it doesn't have any small chair, though it's giving me a korean vibe.
Kinuha ko ang serving spoon at nag serve para sa sarili ko, hindi lamang maganda ang pagkaka prepare niya kundi malinis rin.
"Ang sarap....." nakatulala lang ako sa menudo habang rinig ko naman ang parang yes ni Aiden, "May lason ba 'to? kasi kung Meron tutusukin kita nito." I raise my brows itinutok sa kaniya ang dulo ng kutsara.
I saw him threatened kaya binaba ko ito at kumain na. Na a-awkward ako sa titig niya habang kumakain ako, ramdam niyo 'yon? yung tipong may Mata na nakatingin sa'yo habang sarap na sarap ka sa pagkain na kinakain mo.
"Nakakabusog ba yung panonood sa ibang tao na kumain?" I scoff
He shook his head and chuckle "Nakaka flatter lang na nasasarapan ka sa luto ko akala ko kasi ay pangit na naman ang lasa." bumuntong hininga siya at kumuha na rin ng menudo.
Linunok ko ang nginuya kong kanin "Alam mo, before succeeding dadaan ka muna sa mga challenges na akala mo ay hindi mo ma co-conquer..." I said.
Failure is a part of success and I also read a quote 'Every failure is a lesson. If you are not willing to fail, you are not ready to succeed'.
"Well it's right that I didn't stop from believing myself that I can cook menudo right." he chuckle
I pursed my lips realising that ang lalim na pala ng iniisip ko habang siya ay menudo lang ang nasa isip.
Tumayo siya at naglakad patungo sa babang part ng yacht, may kukunin lang siguro.
"Cheers?" he gave me a wine of juice I stared at it for a moment.
Umiling siya "Wala yang lason tingnan mo" inagaw niya ang juice ko at ininom yon.
"Sa'kin 'yong juice na 'yon! ibigay mo!" hinampas ko ang mesa kaya nagsalin siya ng panibagong juice sa parehong baso.
He scratch his head "Same glass, same taste..." binigay niya na ito sa akin.
Even we just met for the first time, gusto ko na siyang batukan dahil sa pamimikon niya. Ewan ko ba, I felt comfortable with his company.
